NYDOT to spend millions on new signage for the Tappen Zee

[Jmac00]

it seems the incompetent douche bags at the DOT couldn't get the new signs for the Tappen Zee Bridge right, so they are ordering NEW ones....

From Rich Funke's FB page

Just yesterday a story broke that the State Department of transportation was spending millions to replace signs tied to the Mario Cuomo Bridge. The reason ? They left out his middle initial- M. The " M" stands for money and its money better spent on helping our disabled citizens rather than to replace the initial on a bridge.

aaah, thank god our hard earned tax payer money is going to correct this humongous disgrace to the Emperor and his Royal Family, I wonder if Fredo will throw the director down a flight of stairs

p.s.: I absolutely refuse to call the bridge anything other than the Tappen Zee, period

If it isn't the Tap ... it's the

The DOT got it right. The egotistical prick who runs the state decided he wanted his fathers' middle initial added to the signs. Why not? He's only spending our money.

 

[masterswimmer]

It was the Tap.
It is the Tap.
Will always be the Tap!

FUAC and your father and Fredo too.

So what is Senator Funke going to do about the waste of taxpayer money? Surely he knows people in the media who could get this out to the public? Or refer it to some sort of private watchdog group who could make a stink about it. Somethng, anything......

The better question is why in the hell does it cost millions to put these signs up

They could get some NYC " street artist" a couple spray cans and he'd do it for free!

EVERYTHING in NYC is 10x's what it should reasonably cost.

I did a short stint at a town highway department. They got their road signs made by the county DPW. The town workers put the signs up.
The average annual wage between the county and the town workers was roughly $40 -$45k.

There is NO. FUCKING. REASON. for these signs to cost millions of dollars.
It’s just one more area where We the People are getting shafted.

Andy's friend is in the sign business???

There should be an approval drawing somewhere. Either way its a total waste of money. This is probably why NY just sent me a $300 fine for a $15 toll bill. The original bill never came, but sure as shit the violation made it to my PO box.

No middle inital?
What difference, at this point, does it make?

Yeah, who cares. Got their m here.

If Monkeyface and Fredo got their panties in a knot over the missing middle name I'm all for a fix for that

Part of the top sign is monkeyface's and fredo's. The bottom sign belongs to the taxpayers and not mMc's demonseeds

 

[Bob]

The assholes apparently don’t know how to spell.

There is no “M” anywhere in “Tappan Zee”

 

[Bigfoot]

Forgot the "M" huh ... Ooooo boy, someone is going to get thrown down the stairs by Fake News Fredo.

I always thought that Mario's middle name was "Matthew."
Come to find out I was wrong, his middle name is "Money"... Who knew? ... Makes sense.

I do know for sure that FUAC's middle name is "Asshole" though... I'm 100% sure about that.



LOL, I just got 3 birds with 1 stone... And they were Cuomo birds at that... Sweet.

 

[Paperpunch]

If anyone has noticed, Cuomos' "I love NY" billboards were recently taken down. This was a result of a lawsuit that deemed them to be in violation of the DOTs' billboard guidelines. The contractor who produced the signs was from.......Arkansas.

are you suggesting a Clinton company

Little prince is pretty sensitive about letters today. After all, we're using them quite extensively.

Federal Government Does Not ♥ Cuomo’s ‘I ♥ NY’ Signs

 

[M_F]

Never forget the POS RINOS in the state senate were the ones that bent over to emperor monkey face’s wishes to rename the bridge.

I can't say too much but there are no kick backs from the manufacture. The reason they are so expensive is multi tiered. Material being a large factor. The reflective sheeting is crazy expensive. Also unless you've been around these signs you have no idea of the actual size of them. I've seen signs that are larger than a house and these are huge ones.

When I still lived in South Carolina we took almost a direct hit by Hurricane Hugo.
I came across one of those signs laying on the ground.

You're right, those signs are huge when standing right next to one.

 

[MilesTeg]

There's one we are making that is 19' tall by 46' wide sign going in to production soon.

Ok, so the cost to manufacture is expensive. WTF cares? Why on earth is it necessary to replace the existing, misnamed (s/b Tappan Zee) sign because monkeyface senior is missing a middle initial?

FUAC (Fuck U All Cuomo's)

Wanton disregard for taxpayer money?

Was more of a rhetorical question. But, yes to both answers.
